The last of the great Caterpillar steel track ag crawlers,the AG6. Powered by a 3306 motor with variable horsepowerthat pumps out 240hp in fourth & fifth gears.The 3306 isturbocharged & aftercooled; a solenoid moves a rack stop inthe governor allowing more fuel to be injected for increasedpower in the higher gears. Steering controls are mounted onthe left console and swing with the seat. Sealed &lubricated tracks are carried on a seven roller track framethat gives the AG6 a smooth ride and great traction.The tractor seen here has been working hard for a wheatgrower near Arlington, Oregon. :-D

Re: AG6

Hello Mathiz! Greetings to Sweden. This AG6 is used in dryland wheat production, so it tows chisel plows, cultivatorsanhydrous applicators, grain drills and rod weeders. Withits power & traction, some of the implements used have a large working width; I have seen them pulling rod weederswith a 90 foot width. Attached is a shot of a 40 foot JDrod with flex harrows behind pulled by a 98J D5; theAG6 could easily pull two of these hitched together.All the best from Oregon.

Re: AG6

Yo Roy! Steel tracks were king here until the early 70'swhen the big 4wd tractors took some of the market. The Challenger's regained some of that share....easy oftransport coupled with good performance on the hills. Thehot tractor here in Wasco Co. now is the Quad Trac (seeattached) Still a lot of old steel track crawlers around;a lot of them are second string now.
